200 MHz bandwith, serial decoding (incl. CAN!) as standard, better FFT and probably faster responding as the 1054z - that all together for US 379$.

WOW! Very impressive! That´s really hard to beat!

Seems, the only leftover advantage of the Rigol 1054z is: It has four channels...(Imagine a 1204X-S for US 399$)Let´s hope, they don´t weaken with the firmware.Obviously: Time for the next move of Rigol. In the meantime:

Only 2 relays on the front end as the X-E doesn't have a 50 input AFAIK, only 1 M.The mainboard is very much the same size as the C*L and Plus models.

PSU looks exactly the same as used in C*L models too and BTW I've not heard of any Siglent DSO PSU failures despite what you always mention of the caps used in Siglent PSU's. How long have they been using Leylon ? I think at least since the first teardowns you did, probably longer so they can't be that bad or Siglent would've moved to another brand.

Notice Siglent roll their own PSU, not some off the shelf item that they can't maintain the spec and QC of.

It looks nice, much cleaner front panel than the ugly Rigol stuff. The lack of rust inside is encouraging. Hopefully that is consistent and not that Dave was just lucky or it was a special unit.

I wish the manufacturers would get away from the nursery school color schemes though. Are the only trace color options really yellow and pink? Something wrong with the traditional blue-green of crt scopes?

Blue and green are the colours for ch 3 and 4 on Siglent DSO's.

Until I get one in my hot hands I think the case is very similar to the existing C*L and Plus models and while I'm guessing probably part of the reason they have kept the price down by not having to rework the case.I'll grab a CML Plus and compare it against the front and rear shots early in the vid.

Nah, the power button is bottom left, not a push button switch on top of the case like the C*L models.Option buttons are below the display not on the right of the display like C*L models and this configuration brings it into line with most other Siglent DSO's.

I don't want to derail but that is a slightly surprising and suspiciously silly slippery slope argument. It's not like they depend on the performance of any other third party components in this design amirite?

Only offered as an observation.

Over the years there have been a # of threads here with failures of scope PSU's, in many cases they have not been made by the scope manufacturer. Could you call this modus operandi a weak link ? I do.

I am really looking forward to the review of the 1202X-E.

hopefully they'd add MSO capability to ext trigger. i'm sure it has to be sampled at the same rate as the analog channels anyway

People who do one thing tend to get really good at it. As long as you avoid the cowboy suppliers, a PSU from a specialist is likely to give far better results than one designed in house as a side line. Also, if a commercially available supply is used, its generally cheap and simple to replace.

When will the scope actually be available? I'm in the market for a new scope sometime in the next couple months and this one seems pretty nice for the price. It seems like the -E version isn't actually available yet. I was getting worried seeing only $550+ scopes on Amazon.
